Addison and autoimmune vitiligo: conditions where the immune
system attacks melanocytes and adrenal glands. This causes
white spots on the skin and hormonal deficiency. Treatment
seeks skin repigmentation and the replacement of vital
hormones to improve patient health.
Addison’s adrenal disease: a disorder where the glands do not
produce enough cortisol and aldosterone. Damage to the glomerular
and fascicular zones, caused by the immune system, reduces hormonal
activity. It requires lifelong replacement treatment to avoid serious
metabolic crises.
Addison’s adrenal insufficiency: a disorder where the adrenal
cortex loses definition in its glomerular and fascicular zones. This
prevents cortisol and aldosterone production due to an immune
attack. It requires permanent hormonal treatment to avoid extreme
weakness and metabolic crises.
Adrenal gland disorders: conditions where the adrenal cortex loses
sharpness and functionality in the glomerular and fascicular zones. This
reduces cortisol and aldosterone production, usually due to immune
causes. It requires lifelong medical control and hormonal treatment.
The skin is the largest organ of the human body. It consists of
the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, which protect, regulate
temperature, and enable sensation through vessels, nerves, and
skin appendages.

Anemia and skin color: a condition where the lack of hemoglobin
reduces oxygen transport, causing pale or yellowish skin instead of
a healthy pink tone. It is a key sign of iron deficiency and requires
nutritional treatment
Athlete’s foot: this fungal infection causes redness, itching, and
scaling between the toes or on the soles. Contagion occurs in damp
and hot environments, leading to wounds and discomfort. Antifungal
treatment and proper foot hygiene are essential components for
complete recovery and health.
Autoimmune hepatitis and cirrhosis describe how an immune
system attack inflames the liver until it causes irreversible scarring.
Immunosuppressive treatment is vital to stop progression toward
liver failure and cirrhosis.
Autoimmune pernicious anemia: a disorder where the immune
system attacks stomach cells, preventing vitamin B12 absorption.
This causes ineffective red blood cells, fatigue, and neurological damage.
It requires lifelong B12 injection.
